Flexible Assembly for Sprinklers

An assembly for connecting a sprinkler to a branch line of a fire suppression system, said assembly comprising:

• a flexible conduit having a first end connectable to said branch line, and a second end connectable to said sprinkler, said conduit providing fluid communication between said branch line and said sprinkler;
• an adapter positioned between said sprinkler and said first end of said conduit for effecting attachment of said conduit to said branch line, said adapter having a bore providing fluid communication between said branch line and said conduit, said adapter having a first adapter portion attachable to said branch line and a second adapter portion attached to said first end of said conduit, said first and second adapter portions being rotatable relatively to one another.

• an adapter positioned between said sprinkler and said second end of said flexible conduit for effecting attachment of said sprinkler to said flexible conduit;
• a sleeve co-axially surrounding a portion of said flexible conduit proximate to said adapter, said sleeve and said flexible conduit being rotatable relatively to one another thereby preventing torque being applied to said flexible conduit through said sleeve.
